Thanks guys. I think this turned out great!!! I have come to the conclusion that repairing particle board sucks... Even when you get it just right it's still not just right!
 
I have to ask... is that the factory door for the machine?

I have a Taito door here with green 25 cent inserts (need another insert BTW if anyone has one?). Is mine factory, or is your's factory... or did the factory just use whatever they had laying around?

EDIT: It goes without saying, but you did an amazing job. We're both in the same boat now as far as waiting for the sideart. ... Rich... ... if you're needing a second (or third) set of eyes to judge the side art... I'd love to help. ;)

There was two doors... A double door which they used during early production. The single door (which I have) was the more common door.

Chris Rhoades and John from Johnsarcade.com have the double doors (which I really like).

Yeah, that's the door I have. Mines not a low number either... #159947. Guess I just lucked out.
